Abstract

PURPOSE:To make an optical device inexpensive, light in weight and small in size and to perform quiet operation by suspending and supporting the holding frame of an optical element for correcting image blurring to the optical device by magnetic force and moving the holding frame in a direction orthogonally crossing an optical axis by controlling the magnetic force. CONSTITUTION:Magnetic force generating members 204 to 207 such as a permanent magnet or an electromagnet hold the holding member 35 of a 2nd lens group 32 and the holding member 36 of a 4th lens group 34 functioning as the optical element for correcting image blurring on an image formation surface in non-contact with a housing 41 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Magnetic force generating members 201 to 203 move the holding members 35 and 36 in non-contact with the housing 41 in the optical axis direction and the suspension is supported. A control means converts vibration such as camera shake detected by a shake sensor into a displacement value to be corrected and controls the magnitude of a current flowing in the electromagnets 203, 205 and 207 out of the generating members 201 to 207, so that the holding members 35 and 36 are moved in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction and image blurring is restrained.

In the above-mentioned conventional example, all of the image blur correction mechanism is mounted on the movable lens frame which must be moved in the optical axis direction during zooming and focusing, so that the movable lens is used. Since the total weight of the frame is very large, and therefore the inertial mass of the movable lens frame is very large, it is difficult to perform zooming and focusing quickly. In order to perform zooming and focusing quickly, A large output motor is required, resulting in not only an increase in size of the optical device and an increase in cost, but also a drawback that power consumption, friction loss, and generated noise increase.

In the above-mentioned conventional optical device, the lens frame is supported by the optical device by mechanical contact, and the moving mechanism of the lens frame is a mechanical device such as a feed screw yalicoid as described above. Since the structure has friction, a large starting force is required to overcome the static friction force when the lens frame is activated, and a driving force sufficient to overcome the dynamic friction resistance is required during driving. Moreover, since a structure having high mechanical rigidity is required to support the weight of the lens frame, the weight of the optical device must be heavy in order to increase the rigidity of the optical device.

In the above embodiment, the repulsion by the magnetic force is used for the non-contact support of the second lens group holding member 35 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, but the direction of the current flowing through the electromagnets 205 and 207 is changed to the permanent magnet 204. , 206 and electromagnet 20
The second lens group holding member 35 may be supported in a non-contact manner in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction by utilizing suction by an energizing magnetic force so that the polarities of the surfaces opposed to 5, 207 are different. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, instead of the permanent magnets 204 and 206, the electromagnet 5
The configuration may be such that 01 and 502 are fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the second lens group holding member 35. Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
A configuration may be adopted in which a magnetic force generating member such as a permanent magnet or an electromagnet for controlling the position of the second lens group holding member 35 in the optical axis direction is arranged so that the magnetizing direction is the optical axis direction. In FIG. 4, 601 and 603 are permanent magnets, and 602
And 604 are electromagnets. The electromagnet 602 has a permanent magnet 6
The current is energized so that the direction of the magnetic pole is the same as that of 01. At this time, the permanent magnet 601 and the electromagnet 602 repel each other due to the magnetic force. Similarly, the electromagnet 604 is also energized, and the permanent magnet 603 and the electromagnet 604 repel each other due to the magnetic force. Therefore, by controlling the current flowing through the electromagnets 602 and 604, the second lens group holding member 35 (or the fourth lens group holding member 36) can be supported in a non-contact manner at a predetermined position in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. .

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, a plastic magnet or the like may be used for the permanent magnet to integrally mold the movable lens holding member or the housing. In FIG.
Reference numerals 701 and 702 denote plastic magnet portions that are integrally formed and magnetized with the housing 41, and 703 is a plastic magnet portion that is integrally formed and magnetized with the movable lens holding member (35, 36). With such a configuration, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
